I know they don't wanna rock the boat after the ridicule they had after last review updates but, their review comments and forums could really use a little more tender love and care. Especially in the toxicity department. I know that a big portion of responsibility is publisher but, there is a lot of easily identifiable toxicity that if they did more moderation on (or even read existing reports) would be resolved really fast and make both areas a lot better for the user to enter. Like I personally don't even allow comments on my reviews anymore because it very rarely allows for an actual constructive discussion, usually it devolves into toxicity from someone.

I can see the value of this if for example the localization is done poorly, reviews in that language may be a bit more harsh because it would affect the overall experience but that being said I don’t know if I like the idea of it affecting the overall review score shown to the user

The ability to at least see how people speaking different languages review the games would be useful and interesting though in my opinion

Sounds a bit silly to me

Stop trying to ghettoize the internet by market.
